A rare and highly sought-after Laphroaig from the 1977 bottled in the spring of 1995. This bottle has a very good reputation and is extremely hard to find these days.

Colour: straw. Nose: starts on a striking mix of subtle peat (and congeners) with tropical fruits (first tangerines). It does remind me of the old official 1976 and 1977. Not too medicinal but truly coastal, with puffs of sea breeze, clams, oysters… Then it’s back to lemon, tangerines, small bitter oranges, pepper… The balance is really perfect. Hints of old books and candle wax but it stays fresh and clean. Also virgin wool, clean mammal (your pick). A wonderful old-style Laphroaig on the nose. Laphroaig 1977 Bot.1995

Laphroaig 1977
Mouth: a little softer at the attack but it gets then really bold, almost punchy despite its rather low strength. It’s also very salty (which usually happens a little later) and then starts to taste like oysters with lemon juice and pepper. Surprisingly assertive. It’s also much more medicinal than on the nose, with something like cough syrup, something tarry, herbal (artemisia, something like verjuice). Excellent and far from being just peat infusion plus lemon juice and pepper. Finish: surprisingly long, just as maritime and medicinal as in the books, with a signature on grapefruit and white pepper. Very Laphroaig 1977 Bot.1995

Further, There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Laphroaig’s profile, but sometimes I get the feeling that there’s some variation missing. I guess that’s part of the brand’s popularity and the fact that every independent bottler wants a piece of the cake and releases a few casks each year. This 1996 vintage is from a bourbon cask and part of the Malts of Scotland range.

In conclusion, A classic Laphroaig, spiced up with some more complex or unusual flavours. Apart from the heavy smoke, great balance. Around € 60. Another Malts of Scotland release to recommend.
